I've been fallow for almost 76 days due to MV. fish return to tanks on Sat. My surviving fish are:
2 chromis from DT
1 Scooter Blenny from DT
2 Damsels from display Refugium (tank next to DT so QT'd these fish as well
1 gold head sand sifting sleeper goby
My plan is to put the 2 chromis and scooter blenny back into the DT and move the gold head to the DR as I now have corals on sand bed.
My question is whether to put the damsels in the DT or back to the refugium with the goby. I'll be getting 2 clowns and a mandarin and putting them into QT and maybe a blenny or goby. Will the damsels be little meanies if I add them to the DT which is a 66 gal (Red sea Max c250)? I notice they do chase the chromis in the QT tank but it is a 20 gal hex.
If I put them into the main tank, then later I can maybe add a coral beauty and flame angel to the display refugium. Those are two of my "want" fish but not sure I want them in my main tank in case they pick on coral. My refugium has unwanted colts and xenia and macros. and yes, it is a refugium for pods but it is also another display tank.
As for the pods in both tanks, I'm going to get some chaeto and put it in a bottle with holes in it for a safe breeding haven in both tanks. I can hide the bottle behind the rocks with good flow. Hmmm, maybe a cheap humming bird feeder would work with holes melted into the plastic....
